Abstract

The concept of sustainable transportation within university campuses is gaining prominence due to its potential impact on environmental, social, and economic aspects. Universities serve as valuable case studies for this concept due to their diverse populations and roles as centers of education and research. The transportation choices made within campuses directly affect CO2 emissions, with private vehicles, student vehicles, and visitor transportation collectively contributing to carbon dioxide emissions through the combustion of fossil fuels. Limited resources, resistance to change, lack of awareness, inadequate infrastructure, cultural norms, coordination challenges, and behavioural inertia pose challenges to promoting sustainable transportation on campuses. he ultimate aim of this research is to focus more on sustainable transportation in the university. Furthermore, the objective of this research is to identify the factors that influence the awareness among students toward sustainable transportation. The search for relevant literature review using academic databases. The screening and selecting of journals based on relevancy to the key findings and themes. The article is critically evaluated based on the factors that influence the awareness toward sustainable transportation and the issues related to the factors that influence the awareness toward sustainable transportation. From the analysis, the findings indicate that four (4) factors influence the awareness toward sustainable transportation, which are Environmental Concern, Social Concern, Economic Concern, and Availability of Public Transportation.
